Mypcdefenderplus[.]site in detail

Mypcdefenderplus[.]site exhibits fraudulent behavior by running a false system scan and presenting a fake virus message. The message falsely declares the presence of five viruses on the user's computer and prompts them to renew their McAfee subscription to eliminate all threats.

Upon clicking the "Proceed..." button, the site redirects the user to a URL that includes an affiliate's ID. This indicates that the site is created by affiliates who earn commissions from the sale of McAfee antivirus subscriptions through their affiliate link.

It is important to note that McAfee, a legitimate computer security software company, is not associated with mypcdefenderplus[.]site.
